    No: The said alias in GnuPG 1.4 was Win32-specific, while my example
is on Woody. The -vvv line "gpg: using character set `CP1252'" confirms
alias was not involved. Besides, this first part was an example of
*good* display, only to later highlight the incorrect display on CP-857.

    Ah zut. It is not helpfull, and sometimes fills the screen when
printed repeatedly for each UID reprint (like in --list-sigs).


    BTW another minor glitch, on Woody, GnuPG 1.4, CP-1252 locale:

| $ gpg -vvv --with-colons --list-keys "René"
| gpg: using character set `CP1252'
| [...]
| pub:-:512:17:FC713EC9882B59FD:2005-01-08:::-:René LecÅ\x93ur <joe at foo.bar>::scaSCA:

    --with-colons outputs UTF-8 bytes: Feature. But why is one byte \x93
escaped? 93 is printable in this locale.


Bye!	Alain.
